![]() ![]() Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel ($669 million in 2013) kicked off a successful franchise while stumbling enough for WB to turn its sequel into Batman v Superman. Mamma Mia! earned $609 million worldwide in 2008, including just $5 million less overseas than The Dark Knight and Indiana Jones 4. Will Smith’s Hancock is still the biggest grossing live-action original superhero movie with $624 million. Michael Bay’s Transformers earned a 58% but still pulled a “Hey this is better than we all thought it would be” post-release narrative. Roland Emmerich’s 2012 remains the biggest global grosser ($765 million) with the lowest domestic total ($166 million). Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ, a once-in-a-generation event for irregular moviegoers, earned $370 million domestic and $622 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. The Da Vinci Code, based on a popular and controversial book with Tom Hanks in the lead role, earned $760 million in 2006. Venom soared in China ($269 million) for an $854 million cumulative box office.

There are 175 movies, including Thor: Love and Thunder, which had earned at least $600 million global (sans inflation, shifting critical tastes, and total participating critics for a given title). Just for potential education, I pulled every film that has earned at least $600 million worldwide while earning a rotten score - fewer than 60% of participating critics give the movie at least a 6/10 or “it’s fine, I guess” review. ![]()
